Filming will take place this summer on a brand new mythological drama titled Olympus coming to Syfy in 2015. The network’s given the go-ahead to a 13 episode season one run of the series, with writer/director Nick Willing working on episode one. Olympus will be executive produced by Matthew O’Connor and Robert Halmi Sr (Gulliver’s Travels), with Syfy, Reunion Pictures and Great Point Media teaming up on the project.
“Olympus is a fantastic blend of action, intense thrills, creatures and great story telling. It will feature characters from mythology in a way never before imagined,” said Chris Regina, Senior Vice President, Programming, Syfy. “It’s an excellent complement to our roster of programming and we can’t wait to share the adventures of Hero with the Syfy audience.”
“I’m thrilled that the team of Willing, O’Connor and Halmi are together on another exciting Syfy project. With the success of Tinman, Neverland and Alice, we are confident that this will be another epic adventure for television,” stated Halmi Sr.
The Plot:
Olympus will tell the story of how a few brave men and women banished the Gods to the realm of the unconscious – a place they called the Underworld or the Kingdom of Hades. The series will follow the protagonist on his journey as he gradually transforms from a fresh-faced and raw young man through the dramatic experiences of betrayal, love, disappointment, empowerment and exile, until he emerges a ruthless leader of men, and a match for the Gods themselves.
